The Administrator in Fiction: Using the Novel to Teach Educational Administration.

Brieschke, Patricia A.

Educational Administration Quarterly, v26 n4 p376-93 1990

Demonstrates how literary interpretation can facilitate critical inquiry into administrative processes. Uses Cynthia Ozick's "The Cannibal Galaxy," a short novel about a private midwestern elementary school principal, to explore the interactions between various literary theories and educational administration. The novel can be a powerful teaching tool for administrator preparation. Includes 50 references. (MLH)
